It seems like the stuff of science fiction, but NSF-sponsored researchers working at CERN, the European Organization for Nuclear Research, have probed the properties of whole atoms of antimatter, the ...

In its second antimatter breakthrough this month, CERN announced it successfully created the first-ever antimatter qubit, paving the way to even weirder quantum experiments. reading time 3 minutes ...

The research team at ALICE, A Large Ion Collider Experiment at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC), confirmed the first-ever observation of antihyperhelium-4, the antimatter partner of hyperhelium. The ...

An artistic representation of antihyperhydrogen-4 — an antimatter hypernucleus made of an antiproton, two antineutrons, and an antilambda particle — created in a collision of two gold nuclei (left) ...

Scientists studying the tracks of particles streaming from six billion collisions of atomic nuclei at the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider (RHIC) -- an 'atom smasher' that recreates the conditions of ...

It’s around you, it’s a part of you, and scientists are still trying to figure it out. Antimatter: It’s the opposite of the matter we’re used to; it’s mysteriously elusive; and when it gets too close ...

A substance called antimatter is at the heart of one of the greatest mysteries of the universe. We know that every particle has an antimatter companion that is virtually identical to itself, but with ...

Scientists are exploring the possibilities of antimatter propulsion as they try to achieve interstellar travel. While conventional rockets provide high thrust, they struggle with low efficiency.

Antimatter has intrigued and confounded physicists for almost a century, and the effect of gravity on antimatter has been a point of disagreement. New research may have settled the debate by finding ...
